When I click on the notification button, always get message notification
failed, try again later. Why
 
When I post a new message, there is a place on the right side (one the same
line with new posts that says notify me of replies and when I click on it it
says notification failed try again later

You are having difficulties because you are using the awful web interface to
these groups instead of a newsreader. It is extremely easy to set up a
newsreader and you will get far more out of these newsgroups if you do.
Here is information about that:

Since you are using the web interface, you may not realize that this is
really a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn
to use a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you
can use Outlook Express since you already have it. Here are some links to
information about newsgroups:
